Bring your Traveling Medical Record with you

We are travelling more and more all the time. Increasingly more people travel for business reasons, tourism, a short break, or a year’s sabbatical….and on all these trips there is one thing they never leave behind: their mobile phone.

Today our cell phone is our communication centre, our camera, our music equipment, our video camera. Now it can also be our particular medical assistant, our interpreter for health matters – even our medical records.

In a place that features a language you cannot speak, or in a country where your language is not known or hardly used, a health problem, the need to visit a doctor, or, in the worse case, a hospital admission, can be a serious, even critical, situation.

The language barrier can be a very important drawback in such a scenario.

That is why at UniversalDoctor we are continually improving our mobile applications. The UniversalDoctor Speaker for iPhone app is already proving highly useful to thousands and thousands of travelers and physicians around the world.

With UniversalDoctor on your iPhone you can explain many medical aspects in multiple languages. Wherever you go, if you require medical assistance or have to communicate with doctors, our application will help you take the first steps in a new health system.

You can also carry your medical records and treatment (prescriptions, etc.) with you in all the languages available on the application.

Choose the patient language and the health personnel language for problem-free communication. From now on you can travel with greater peace of mind.

Now travel safer with UniversalDoctor Speaker

We are travelling more and more. In many countries we can get by speaking in English, Spanish or French, but in others it is nearly impossible – so taking UniversalDoctor Speaker on your telephone would be very useful in facilitating this work. You decide the language you want to communicate in.

You can also prepare your medical records before you travel. This could be fundamental in certain cases.

That is why we have developed a highly successful version for iPhone and iPad which topped health-related downloads in the US for a number of weeks.

More than 25,000 people around the world have already downloaded the UniversalDoctor Speaker app on their  iPhone/iPad.

The iPad application further enables increased two-way communication flow in hospitals, and diverse centers have begun to use it together with the regular application.

It will shortly be available on other mobile platforms, too.

Welcome to UniversalDoctor

The present socioeconomic reality tells us that we are in a globalized world at all levels. Increasingly often, immigrants and tourists require healthcare around the world and do not share the same language as the health personnel. Sometimes communication with patients who do not speak the same language as the healthcare professional is very difficult.

To respond to this requirement, the UniversalDoctor Speaker for PCs application is a multimedia, multilingual system that makes it possible to ask questions and provide answers in multiple medical situations using audio apps.

Where is UniversalDoctor Speaker Used?

Major hospitals and primary care centers in Barcelona, Madrid, Andalusia and other Spanish regions, as well as a number of hospitals in Scotland and Italy, have begun to use the program.

UniversalDoctor Speaker has also been available on iPhone and iPad for a number of months. These tools enable travelers and health professionals to communicate their symptoms, treatment or prescription in multiple languages anywhere, anytime.

UniversalDoctor Project has more:

At UniversalDoctor we want to highlight, promote and publicize all sorts of activities that contribute to communication. Our tools are a complement for professionals who find them highly necessary, i.e., interpreters and/or intercultural mediators. At UniversalDoctor you can find diverse manuals that can improve health professional/interpreter/mediator relations. Other materials and different activities as well as multiple collaborations and agreements with different hospitals, governments and health and communication associations comprise our present reality.

UniversalDoctor is also seeking to deliver on a difficult but achievable challenge, i.e., to publicize health in multiple languages, multiple training levels and multiple formats.

Ante esta necesidad nace en un primer momento la aplicación UniversalDoctor Speaker para PCs que es un sistema multimedia y multilingüe que permite preguntar y explicar con audios múltiples situaciones médicas.

¿Dónde está UniversalDoctor Speaker?

Los grandes centros hospitalarios y de atención primaria en Barcelona, Madrid, Andalucía, y otras comunidades españolas, así como en determinados hospitales de Escocia e Italia, empiezan a contar con este programa.
